How to Add Code Snippets Using Shortcode?

Table of Contents

With the Nexter Extension (Pro) plugin, you can easily insert custom code snippets anywhere on your website using a simple shortcode. Once your snippet is created, just copy its shortcode and paste it into any post, page, or widget area—perfect for adding the same piece of code across multiple locations without rewriting it.

Add Code Snippet through Shortcode

First, you have to create your code snippet and publish the snippet.

Then, from the Placement Method section, you have to select the Insert via Shortcode option.

In the Generated Shortcode field, you’ll find an auto-generated shortcode that you can use anywhere on your site.

User Defined Shortcode

You can also generate a custom shortcode from the User-Defined Shortcode section. This lets you assign a unique and meaningful name to the shortcode, making it easier to remember and manage later.

In the Shortcode Name field, you have to add your custom value for the shortcode, and as you type, it will generate the custom shortcode.

You can use that shortcode on your site to add the code snippet as well.

Then, from the Shortcode Parameters section, you can add custom parameters to your shortcode. This allows you to pass data while using it as a shortcode.

From the Shortcode Usage Locations section, you can find where the shortcode has been used by clicking the Find where this shortcode is used button.

Then, by enabling the Compress by removing spaces & comments toggle, you can remove the spaces and comments from your code in the frontend. This can be useful to compress the CSS and JavaScript code.

This is how easily you can add code snippets using a shortcode.
